Green Fluorescent Protein

Overview

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a protein found in a variety of marine organisms, including certain types of jellyfish, coral, and zebrafish. It is notable for its unique ability to absorb and emit light, specifically in the green region of the visible light spectrum, hence its name. GFP has become an important tool in biochemistry and molecular biology, as it can be used to trace and monitor the actions of other proteins and molecules. GFP tags can be inserted into a variety of living cells and tissues, revealing the locations and movements of those molecules within the cell. The presence of GFP also allows researchers to selectively study particular cellular processes and make hypotheses about their functions. As a result, GFP has been a critical component in the study of genetic regulation, DNA replication, and protein-protein interactions.
